THE FISHERIES DISPUTE.

appear that this country is likely tt
have trouble in the near future. A
leading member Of Congress, Mr.. Bel
mont, recently introduced into tn,
House "a bill to protect American YES
sells against unwarrantable and unlaw.
full determinations in the ports O.
British North America
According to Mr.. Belmont's bill j
will be lawful for the President of tht
United States, on learning that Ameri
can vessels entering Canadian port:
have been denied the rights guaran
teed by treaty, to issue a proclamation
prohibiting any vessels carrying the
British flag and hailing from sucf
ports, from entering the ports OF the
United States. Such craft is liable tt
seizure and forfeiture. Another sec
tion of the bill provides that merchan
disc from the British provinces passing
by land to the United States may be
forbidden to cross the boundary line.
This clause refers as we'll to cars, loco.
motives and rolling stock of any rail.
way company chartered under the laws
of any of the Canadian provinces. The
penalty attached to the violation of the
Presidents proclamation is placed at
the sum of $1,000, besides which the
person who IS found guilt, of such is
liable, upon conviction, to imprison-
ment for a term not exceeding two
years.
Another bill came up in the Senate
last Monday, and covers practically
the same ground. In reality all that
eit>er bills require is that Canada
should grant to the United States all
the rights the latter has secured by
treaty or by law with regard to the
fisheries, otherwise retaliatory mea-
sures will be resorted to. This is not
only reasonable, but a just demand.
Pending the construction of a new
and more explicit treaty we should
have expected different treatment at
the hands of the Dominion authorities,
who have ever been regarded in the
light of neighbors whose commercial
interests were identical with our own.
These bills are not intended as an in
suit to Canada, or as if the United
States were assuming warlike atti-
tude towards their weaker neighbor,
but it is thought that it will force them
to consider how fatuous has been the
policy their Government has pursued in
the past, and the necessity that exists
for an elaborate treaty which will be
based upon grounds equitable to both
countries alike. Of course 1t cannot be
determined in what light the British
Government may look upon this mat
ter. Only recently it sanctioned certain
legislation enacted by the Dominion
Government that placed the Americans
at a great disadvantage, and rendered
American vessels liable to seizure at
the whim of certain petty magistrates
and officers.
The President may veto the bills re-
ferred to, but in case he should not, the
subsequent action might lead to a war
between Great Britain and the United
States. At this juncture it might not
be amiss to ask what condition this
country is in to repel an invasion by
foreign enemy? A late issue of the
Chicago Citizen has some very appro-
pirate remarks concerning this matter.
It says:
.sAs for Canada we can settle with
her readily enough, although, no
doubt, at considerable cost Of life and

has recently published volume IN
which he describes several of the prin-
cipal battles during the American Civil
War. In this volume he refers at
length to the battle of Fredricksburgh,
and speaking of the Irish soldiers on
both the Federal and Confed ederate sides,
he compliments them for their bravery.
His description of the attack of Mea-
gher's Federal brigade of 1900 Irishmen
upon the Confederate position at
Marye's Hill on the left of their line is
thus concluded.
The defenders were concealed behind
stone wall So determined

their fire for space. And now oc-
CURED strange and pathetic incident.
Though high was the courage of that
thin line which charged so bravely
across that shot-swept plain, opposed
to it were men as fearless and as
staunch; behind that rude. stone
breastwork were those who were ''bone
of their bone and flesh of their 1esh"-
the soldiers of Cobb's brigade were
Irish, like themselves. On the morning
of the battle General Meagher had bade
his men deck their caps with sprigs of
evergreen, ''to remind them,'' he said.
"ef the land of their BIRTH" The SYM
Dol was recognized by their country
men, and 20 God, what pity! Here
come Meagher's fellows" was the cry
in the Confederate ranks. One hundred
and fifty PAGES from the hill the bri-
gade halted and fired a volley, while
the round shot tore fercely through the
ordered line. Still no sign from the
wall looming up grim and silent
through the battle smoke; and again
the battalions moved swiftly forward.
They were but hundred yards from
their goal. unbroken and unfaltering
still. 81 \ Victory seemed within
their grasp, and shout went up from
the shattered ranks. Suddenly a shot
of fame leaped from the parapet. and
1900 rifles, piled by the cool and un-
shaken men, concentrated a murderous
fire upon the advancing line. To their
glory be it told, though scores were
swept away, falling in their ranks like
corn before the sickle, the ever thin
ming ranks dashed on. = But
before that threatening onset the Con-
federate veterans never quailed volley
on vollev sped with deadly precision,
and at so short range every bullet
found its mark. For a while the storm
ers struggled on, desperate and defiant;
but no mortal man could long face that
terrible fire, scathing and Irresistible
as the lightning, and at length the
broken files gave ground. Slowly and
sullenly they fell back; fell back to
fight no more that day. for beneath the
smoke-cloud that rolled about Marye's
Hill the Irish brigade had ceased to ex-
ist. OF the 1900 officers and men 9s7
had fallen. Forty yards from the wall.

The reason why we do this is:
LIST. Because we want to introduce 1t to
every person having either gray or faded hair
and to every one whose hair, from any cause,
may be falling out, and to those troubled with
dandruf or scurf, or any unhealthy condition
of the scalp.
End. Because we have tried this plan most
successfully at home in Washington city,
where we have given away free over our coun-
tiers thousands of trial bottles, and have estab-
lished a sale unparalleled in the annals OF
proprietary articles.
3rd. Because we cannot conceive any meth
cd more apt to convince those who may chance
to read this that we have an article OF more
than ordinary merit, that will do all we claim
for it, since we are willing you should try it
before you buy it. Now what we claim is
simply this, that it will restore the natural
color to gray or faded hair in three to ten
days, and never fail; that it will stop the hair
from falling out and give the roots new life
and vitality in from one to three months; that
it will totally clean the scalp of all dandruii
and scurf, leaving the head in healthy condl-
ton; that it will restore gray whiskers as well
as the hair on the head.
Our main claim, and thatin which Nattans'
Crystal Discovery differs essentially from any
other Hair restorer in the market, is its entire
freedom from all poisonous Ingredients what
ever. No lead, no sulphur, no silver, no
stains, no sediment, and consequently no
shaking up to do. All we ask is a trial,
without cost to yourself. Address all letters
to ARTHUR NATTANS,
